This page provides links to pre-built software image "artifacts" that can be used to set up the Matter Demo for the Thread and Wi-Fi use cases.
The Matter Hub image is intended to be flashed onto an SD card for a Raspberry Pi. The Matter Hub Image provides both an Open Thread Border Router and the Matter chip-tool. Note the image is ~10GB in size so depending on your internet connection this download may take some time. Start the Matter Hub Raspberry Pi image download here:

The Radio Co-Processor firmware is used to turn an EFR into an RCP that can be used with a Raspberry Pi to allow the Raspberry Pi's Open Thread Border Router to access the Thread network. Radio Co-Processor (RCP) images are available in the Assets section of this page:
https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter/releases/tag/v1.0.2-1.0
The Matter Accessory Device Images are used to turn an EFR into a Matter device. These are pre-built binary images for the Matter Demo. Matter Accessory Device Images are located in the Assets section of this page:
https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter/releases/tag/v1.0.2-1.0
For Matter over Thread, 3 different types of images are provided:
- Standard: Includes all code including enabling the LCD for a QR Code that can be used for commissioning.
- Release: A smaller image size with reduced functionality, including removal of the LCD support, thus no QR Code.
- Sleepy: A sleepy device image for improved energy efficiency and running on battery power.
If you are using the OTA functionality and especially if you are using an EFR32MG2x device, you will need to flash a bootloader binary on your device along with the application image. Bootloader binaries for all of the Matter supported devices are available here:

The RS9116 firmware is used to update the RS9116 - it can be found in the
repository you have cloned, at the following relative path from the /matter
directory, ./third_party/silabs/wiseconnect-wifi-bt-sdk/firmware
Note: SiWx917 firmware is only available to Alpha customers. Contact Silicon Labs support to obtain the WiseMCU SDK and install it as per the instructions on the Software Requirements page.
The SiWx917 firmware is used to update the SiWx917 device connectivity firmware. It can be found in the
repository you have cloned, at the following relative path from the /matter
directory, ./third_party/silabs/wisemcu-wifi-bt-sdk/connectivity_firmware
In order to flash the Matter Application on the SiWx917 SoC, the Ozone Debugger must be configured for the SiWx917 SoC device by following the instructions on the Ozone Environment Setup for SiWx917 SoC page.
The JLinkDevices.xml and ELF files referenced in the instructions may be found in the Assets section of this page:
